ASSIGNMENT DUE DATE: 10 October 2025
QUESTION 1
Subject: Biology
Grade level: 9 ( adaptable to other levels)
Duration: 2 x 60–75 minute class periods (can be adjusted to a single 90-minute
block)
Learning objectives (measurable)
- Describe the basic structure of a eukaryotic cell and the function of key organelles.
- Explain how the cell membrane’s structure governs selective transport (diffusion,
osmosis, active transport).
- Use a digital simulation to model diffusion and osmosis and interpret the impact of
concentration gradients and membrane properties on transport rates.
- Collaborate to produce a digital infographic that explains membrane transport
concepts with accurate visuals and language.
- Reflect on learning and justify conclusions using evidence from simulations and
activities.
Standards alignment (example)
- General science literacy and inquiry skills: develop and use models, plan and carry
out investigations, analyze data, and interpret results.
, - Biology concepts: cell structure and function; membrane transport; energy transfer
in cells.
What digital tools I selected and why (with alignment to objectives)
- PhET Interactive Simulations (Osmosis and Diffusion)
- Supports objectives: model diffusion/osmosis, analyze how concentration
gradients affect transport, interpret simulated data.
- Why it fits: engaging, interactive, accessible in browsers; provides immediate
visual feedback; no lab materials needed.
- Google Classroom
- Supports objectives: distribute tasks, collect evidence of learning, provide timely
feedback, manage submissions.
- Why it fits: ubiquitous in many schools; easy for students to access and organize
work; supports iteration.
- Padlet or Google Jamboard (collaborative concept mapping)
- Supports objectives: brainstorm organelle functions and transport concepts;
asynchronous collaboration.
- Why it fits: user-friendly, supports multimedia posts, easy to comment and track
ideas.
- Google Docs/Slides (group lab report and infographic creation)
- Supports objectives: collaborative writing and presentation of reasoning; version
history to monitor progress.
- Why it fits: ubiquitous, enables real-time collaboration, simple sharing.
- Canva or Google Drawings (infographic poster)
- Supports objectives: produce a visually accurate infographic that explains
membrane transport.
